Homemade Cinnamon Bread Recipe

Ought to there be anything higher for fall? This homemade cinnamon bread recipe is smooth, yeasty, and a touch sweet. So delicious when toasted and buttered!

Isn’t it glorious? And it’s the whole thing you’d ever want cinnamon bread to be. Smooth, yeasty, and a bit sweet, with a ribbon of heat, highly spiced cinnamon spiraling all through.

Homemade Cinnamon Bread Recipe

I used to love to eat it heat, slathered with butter. From time to time it had raisins too, which I am keen on. However I recognise they may be a controversial element (lol!) so I left them out right here. If you are pro-raisin although, you may usually sprinkle a 1/2 a cup or so over the cinnamon sugar, earlier than rolling up the dough and putting it right into a loaf pan to bake.

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/4 ounce dry active yeast (1 packet)
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (approximately- you may need as much as to 4 1/2 cups)
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Place the warm water in a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to proof.
2. Add the brown sugar, butter, 2 cups of the flour, and the salt, and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in an additional 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 cups flour, until dough pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
4. Knead on floured surface, adding 1/2 to 3/4 cup additional flour, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
5. Place dough in large greased bowl, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
6. Lightly mist a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
7. Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle, about 9 inches on the short side and 1/4 inch thick.
8. Brush with melted butter.
9. Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, and sprinkle the mixture in an even layer all over the butter.
10. Starting at the short side, roll into a tight log (like a cinnamon roll).
11. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
12. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, uncover the dough, and bake the bread for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped.
